BVB, News: Dickel was “terrified”

On September 12, 1992, 30 years ago on Monday, Norbert Dickel made his debut as Borussia Dortmund’s stadium announcer. Back then, BVB won the DFB Cup 5-4 on penalties against FC Bayern.

“I have to admit that I was scared,” the 60-year-old is quoted as saying about his debut on the BVB website.

Dickel had to end his professional career at the age of 30 due to persistent knee problems. He was then promoted by the then president of the association, Dr. Gerd Niebaum asked to take on the role of stadium announcer.

The former striker celebrated his greatest sporting success in 1989. In Dortmund’s 4-1 victory in the DFB Cup final against Werder Bremen, Dickel scored twice.

“Nobby is not only the hero of Berlin and a striking BVB face, but also the voice of our club,” said BVB Managing Director Carsten Cramer on the occasion of the 30th anniversary.

Most recently, Dickel had to pass against Copenhagen in the Champions League because he injured himself while grilling and then had to go to the hospital. “I turned on the gas grill and there was a deflagration. I burned my shins pretty badly,” said Dickel. He hopes to be back in the district derby against FC Schalke 04 on Saturday.
